Useful MEW Table

[JasonBModerator @jasonb]

Last couple of Issues of MEW also have some charts being printed in them that will form a booklet.

Michael G – yes. I had the drill equivalents table loaded and printed in A2. Guys responding, please, no more on that table please?

But if you look at the photo i uploaded yesterday, you will see this is a totally different chart – it is headed BA & British Threads. full of really useful information about a wide range of threads. The link Neil posted is a table of mm-decimal drill equivalents but, now that I have used it a few weeks, I see it is not all that easy to use for tapping information – in fact it has not much tapping info.

Harold Lewis seems by to think that Nick quoted the issues 134 and 135 as where the tapping table was printed first – In fact he refers Maurice' photos, which as far as I can see are, yet another upload of the DET (drill equivalents table)

So again, does anyone have good scan or copy of the chart I pictured yesterday, the BA & British, that may or may not have been in issues 134 and 135 (Nick didnt show it, Marice does not seem to have in his album

And NO, Nigel I really dont want a partial chart , I want it all in one place – there is no substitute when sorting fasteners or selecting a size – a comprehensive table arranged in order of size is the most useful. If no-one has access to the BA&Brit, I will get the A3 copies I have laminated onto heavy card

PS Jason, the current pagefillers being reprinted will be quite a while (months) till the set is complete, not that easy to read, and seem to be in subtables by thread families

BA & British / American Threads / Metric Threads was printed in MEW 230 as a double sides ctr fold pull out

Found this one by chance the other day: Link

That should lead to some imperial to metric charts…

[Michael BelferParticipant @michaelbelfer47979]

Thanks Henry, not what was looked for. But thats the easy part – 4 psges in the middle of the MEW issue 230, even in the archive!

The hard part ( so far i cant achieve it) is somehow getting the 4 pages into a decent quality print, preferably A2, but I would settle for A3

Apparently the archive is designed to circumvent printing.

Accompanied by sound of forehead being smacked: Turns out that unlike my normal habit, I left the issue 230 centrefold inside the mag, so I will now get scanned, printed and laminated professionally

Worth noting, the table vontains at least the following errors:

a) first two entries, 16BA and 15BA have an extra zero in the diameter, so note the diameters are NOT .08 and .09 mm. I corrected on mine with white-out

b) Top of page 2 of 4 has the entries for 1/2X28, and for M7 coarse and fine; these are way out of correct place in table. Harder to fix so I just marked the lines with asterisks

RE BA, BRITISH, USA and METRIC Threads Chart from issue 230 of MEW

Anyway, I have the chart ( marked with a few small corrections), in a pdf file of some 5-6Mb. By far the most useful tapping info chart I have found; includes many British, USA, and metric series threads, in one table sorted in order of Outside Diameter

Anyone desiring a copy, email me off- list.

Neil also has it, and it will probably find its way onto here sometime

But who has enough free wall space to put one up?

Clive

I have such a chart on the back of the workshop door.

I sent you a ‘Personal Message’ on 21-03-2021, Michael

… but it remains unread

Grateful for a copy of the file when you have the opportunity to send it.

I fixed about 20 data sheets on A4 pages in book form to cardboard backing sheets and hinged it on a cupboard door in my workshop so I can easily flip to the page I want; the page is held in place with a spring clip. This way I only use the area of two A4 pages. Colin
